On September 15th, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law a bill modeled after the UK Age Appropriate Design Code which aims to protect children’s privacy online and regulates companies that collect and process minors’ personal information. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is the closest federal counterpart, and while both aim to protect children’s privacy, they have different philosophies about how to do so which will result in different compliance obligations for companies. To see the chart comparing key aspects of COPPA to the CA AADC please visit here.
Bloomberg Law published an article outlining complications arising in federal privacy talks with the enactment of California's new Age-Appropriate Design Code law. California lawmakers are concerned that any federal law would weaken their stricter measures. The state has been a leader in adopting consumer privacy protections.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is indicating that it's not on board for ad tech companies "self-regulating," and that there may be more aggressive regulation in the future, according to Ad Exchanger. Citing the recent Kochava lawsuit, regulators are now not just concerned with the data being sold, but how it is being shared.
